What theory states that earths crust and the rigid upper mantle move in different directions rates over earths surface?
The theory that states Earth's crust and the rigid upper mantle move in different directions and rates over Earth's surface is known as plate tectonics. It explains how the lithosphere is divided into several large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other, leading to various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
What is the color of the earths mantle?
The Earth's mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals, which give it a greenish-gray color. However, the mantle is located beneath the Earth's crust, so its color is not visible on the surface.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
Earths lower mantle lies just below the?
Earths lower mantle lies just below the upper mantle extending from 400 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. This region primarily consists of dense, solid rock materials that experience high pressures and temperatures. The lower mantle plays a significant role in the Earth's mantle convection, which drives tectonic plate movements and heat transfer within the Earth.
How can scientists lean about the mantle if they cannot study it directly?
Scientists study the mantle indirectly by analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes, studying volcanic eruptions, and examining rock samples brought to the surface by volcanic activity. By combining these methods, scientists can gain valuable insights into the composition, temperature, and behavior of the Earth's mantle.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
What brings material from the mantle to the earths surface?
What brings material from the Mantle to the Earth's Surface is rock...
What is the thickest layer of earths surface?
The Mantle.

How many mantle plumes are on earths surface?
22
What is the layer 100 km below the earths surface?
The mantle =)
How is the mixture of cornstarch and water different from the Earths Mantle?
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
What is the opening on earths surface where magma from the mantle rises and flows out?
Valcano
Where does magma form before it moves toward the earths surface?
in the mantle above the slab
Does a volcano form when magma reaches earths surface?
That is correct. When magma travels from the mantle to the crust and reaches the surface, that is a volcano.
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is the ridge layer of earths surface made up of the crust and part of the mantle called?
lithoshpere
